My little family and I love a roast. Normally I change the meat dish but never the vegetables. Therefore I felt it was time to add extras to the roast vegetables. Hassleback potatoes have been popping up in my timeline on social media. We have eaten these before but I have never tried them with garlic and herbs. Plus I have never tried hassleback honey roast carrots either. It was an amazing meal that we all enjoyed. It’s definitely a roast to remember in the future. Below is a video and recipe for you.

Harissa Spice Roast Chicken with Hassle Back Veg was yummy. It made a good change to our usual roast dinners. It was easy to prepare and cook. Plus it made delicious leftovers. The meal will have to be made on the day. Personally I wouldn’t freeze the vegetable nor the chicken for another occasion. Although you could prepare the vegetables and leave them in water overnight. Then all you have to do it cook them off the next day. However you decide to eat this dish, as always, please enjoy.
